The story

From seasonal scarcity to a shared source of life

Ngatataek is in Kajiado County — one of Kenya's most water-stressed semi-arid regions. Shallow wells dry up. Livestock walk for kilometres. Families lose hours every day carrying water instead of earning, learning or farming.

A local investor chose a different path: fund a community-scale borehole in Kajiado County — not a private tap for a few, but infrastructure meant to serve households, schools, pastoralists and growers across Ngatataek for decades.

Kisima Well Drillers led hydrogeological assessment, precision drilling to 220 metres, casing and development, then pump installation and caretaker training so the Ngatataek borehole stays reliable long after handover.

Under the surface

Why depth mattered here

In semi-arid Kajiado County, the productive water around Ngatataek often sits far below shallow, unreliable layers. We targeted a deep aquifer — engineered for volume, longevity and community demand across Kajiado.

Feasibility & survey

Investors and community leaders mapped demand; we identified the optimal drill site and expected yield.

220m rotary drilling

Specialised deep drilling through hard formation with reinforced casing for borehole integrity.

High-capacity equipping

Submersible pump sized for 20 m³/hr — ready for irrigation expansion and solar retrofit in future phases.

Challenge & response

What we overcame — and how we delivered

Dry rangeland and water scarcity in Ngatataek, Kajiado County, Kenya

The challenge

Semi-arid terrain in Kajiado County, deep geology at Ngatataek and a whole community depending on one sustainable source — not a quick shallow fix.

Shallow wells and seasonal sources drying in drought
Long walks for water, less time for work and school
Underused farmland without irrigation water
Livestock weakened when surface water failed
Investor goals aligned with measurable community impact
